Hi. I've had dystymyia my whole life without knowing it had a title until a few months ago. I've been on Wellbutrin since late September and I do see a difference. I'm not sure whether to attribute the change to the drugs or the therapy or I'm just learning how to cope better. But whatever the reason, I do feel better about myself lately and that is a really different feeling. This is the first time I've done either therapy or antidepressants, so I can't vouch for how any others work or not, but this seems to with me. I'm hoping for a long term help but any relieft from the crazy, awful stuff is a good thing right now. It's too new to know if anything's going to be permanent. THe pessimist in me says nothings changed before, no matter what I did, why should this be different? But I've never gone this route before and I am thinking it will be better.
I hope you fine something that helps for you
